Tainted Love

Depeche Mode-Tainted Love

Not sure if I'm happy with how this one came out. A little sloppy I guess. I guess I'll just see what you guys think.

Edit: People keep telling me that this is not Depeche Mode. The reason I said it was, is I've 3 sources that say it is, and one that says its some heavy metal band that its not. I COULD BE WRONG! So if someone DOES know who this version is by, please tell me. For those who are saying that its by Soft Cell, I have heard the Soft Cell version, and I don't think it's the same band. If you can prove me wrong, ok, but that implies PROOF. Don't just tell me "This isn't Depeche Mode, its Soft Cell, asshole!", give me relevant information. For those who say its Soft Cell because they think that its a Soft Cell song and no other band has done it, you're wrong. Soft Cell wasn't even the original version. It was originally by Gloria Jones.

I think the original base is from The Clash Tainted Love cover... Surely it's not Depeche Mode, but that's been already widely stated, I suppose :)

[I'm sorry but I can't link you the video, there's something wrong in my youtube comments... it can be easily found, though]

@0shinu0 Hmm...I never heard that The Clash covered it, but even if they did I'm a wild Clash listener and it doesn't sound like them...between the vocals, the style, and the synths, I can't say that it's them.

Whole my life I thought this song is by Depeche Mode. So I did a little Internet research when I read your info for the video. I was quite disappointed too.

Indeed the original is by Gloria Jones (1964).

Soft Cell Remixed it in 1981.

So did and Depeche Mode. And the version on this video is theirs. I could not find when they released it, but I've had listened to it, when I heard

the so popular Marilyn Manson's version, who remixed it in 2001.

Lol Depeche's Original singer was Vince Clarke. If you listen to the voice you will hear it is his voice. Look up an Erasure video and compare.

At first I think it is depeche mode but...the voice is clearlier... Anyway, I don't know who sing this song but I enjoy it ;) I don't know if I could believe that's depeche mode. I think it is a remix of the cures. But I don't know...

Sorry for my english, I'm german and I don't know if that is ok...

[Ruth10151617]

this is not Depeche Mode. Dave's voice is lower.

[ChildIncomplete]

maybe Depeche Mode remixed it and used soft cells voice because that is what a remix is is making your own sound with same bands voice a cover is singing it yourself and doing own sound.

[TonyLaubs]

the original song is by the cure.

I used to think I was listening to a Depeche Mode cover of this song, but recently I've found out that it was The Cure's cover. If this isn't a Techno remix of the original('cause apparently Marc Almond has done several versions), then it's definitely a Techno remix of The Cure's cover. Either way, it's a Techno remix of the song though.
